The Sexual Harassment Office supports all members of the university including students, faculty and staff. We offer consultation to complainants, respondents, bystanders, responders and witnesses of sexual violence. 

Consultation

The first step toward the resolution of a concern of sexual violence is to have an anonymous or confidential consultation with one of our advisors. A consultation with our office is not an official complaint. It is a private conversation in which we listen to you and discuss resolution options, resources and supports. You choose what to tell us and whether or not to submit a complaint and pursue a resolution. Every person's situation is unique and consultation is vital to the process of finding the right path for you. 

Our consultation, complaint and resolution processes are trauma-informed and led by the complainant.

If you choose not to pursue a resolution, we can help you with accommodations and referrals to support services.

Complaints and Resolutions

For those who wish to place a complaint and pursue a resolution, we offer multiple options. Visit the Resolution Pathways page to gain more information on each of the available options. If you choose not to pursue a resolution, we can assist you with accommodations or referrals to support services as needed. 

Our office abides by the following policy and procedures of Memorial University: 

• Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault policy
• University-Wide Procedures for Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Concerns and Complaints
